if you rename a pack file and add .keep to the end of the name, git will never try to repack that file.

Uh, not quite. You want to create a *new* file with the same name as the
packfile but ending in .keep instead of .pack. (The content can be
anything; a reason why you never want to repack this packfile, or nothing
at all).
